Just setting up a couple of Linux servers at home to get to know this
great OS. I have worked with SCO and Solaris 5 + years ago, so I have
an understanding of Unix.

First question, I'm trying to setup a Complaq Wireless card. It works
fine with WEP disabled on my Linksys rtr. When I enable WEP and add
the WEP key in Linux the card will not initialize. Are there any
tricks here? I copy and past the WEP key from a text file to avoid any
typo's.

Second question, on one of my servers my X session starts, I get the
Display Manager, I login as a root and then I just get a blank
graphical screen. It's as if the Windows Manager never starts. Is
this a normal problem, are there things I should check?

Thanks for your help form another newbie...
